Character

Clay Sizemore

クレイ・サイズモア

Clay Sizemore (クレイ・サイズモア, Kurei Saizumoa) is a Demon Weapon, an E.A.T Class agent of the DWMA Central Intelligence Agency, and weapon partner of Akane☆Hoshi.He is one of the major supporting characters in Soul Eater Not! as well as a supporting character in Soul Eater. Clay tries to present himself as a capable EAT Central Intelligence member. In his leisure time, his nervousness and clumsiness betray that calm demeanor. But in combat, he shares with Akane a largely cool-headed demeanor, even in battle.In combat, Clay is rather laid back, in contrast to the slightly more serious Akane. He is almost always smiling, and seems to be quite confident in his and Akane's skills as a Weapon and Meister, not panicking when fighting, even if the opponent is a Traitor.Despite his laidback nature, he is still formal to his peers and his seniors, not hesitating to be of help. He cares for the people around him though, as he only gets worried when other people might be in trouble, and often does not hesitate to intervene. Clay tries to introduce himself as calm and informal in front of the NOT trio, looking relaxed as he simply introduces himself with "Yo."But he can be more emphatic than Akane, not only due to his nervousness but, especially after Shaula kills Sid, concern for Anya's safety and those at the DWMA battling Shaula.Although he is observant, Clay's analytical skills are limited by certain circumstances. He seems to lack the same level of observance as Akane, tending to be gullible or taking circumstances at face value. For example, he believes Akane's offer for the two of them to dress as witches for Trick or Treating and hunting witches on Halloween.As well, when Akane compliments the taste of the Master's coffee, Clay admits that he cannot tell whether the taste is good or not, and that he thought that the Master's shop would not be so well-run due to it accepting part-time DWMA students. Even when Shaula was right in front of him, disguised as one of many vendors before the Halloween Death Festival, Clay did not spot her, although this may be because he never saw her face-to-face before, instead relying on a police sketch of her and the fact that she was dressed as in a common witch Halloween costume, like many other vendors.Clay's enthusiasm and nervousness can be raised quite easily, making it more difficult for him to think of alibis, stay undercover, and focus on tasks. When he felt enthusiastic about working at Deathbucks, after getting changed into his waiter's uniform, Akane jokingly called him "simple-minded. Such high energy causes him to misspeak at times, as Akane calls him "smart, but [...] not very quick on your feet.He is surprised how well Akane can improvise successful abilis that do not seem convincing to him. In contrast, Clay tends to sweat and struggle to speak.Clay's tendency to speak before he thinks can lead him to over-complicate a simple topic,or can demonstrate his failure to anticipate ramifications of his words, such as his inadvertent insult towards the indecisive Tsugumi when noticing that it is rare for a weapon to have two meisters. Clay can feel so overwhelmed by such difficulties that he forgets how he caused such problems, feeling humiliated and apologetic. Clay is relatively tall and slender in stature, while noticeably older than Tsugumi Harudori and the majority of his fellow classmates. His age has been estimated to be around that of a high school student, making him anywhere in between sixteen and eighteen years old. He also features spiky and light-colored hair.While taking courses as a NOT student, his typical attire consists of a simple pair of black trousers accompanied by a white shirt, usually left unbuttoned at the collar, and solid black tie, which is further adorned by the presence of a small Shinigami mask icon near its tip. This clothing is completed by a simple pair of black leather shoes and a light-colored belt, which occasionally has a small pouch attached to it on Clay's right side. The combination of this formal attire and Clay's natural physical proportions can falsely give the impression that he is a senior at the DWMA, rather than his actual position as a freshman.While Akane tends to wear a full suit with his tie properly pulled to his collar, Clay tends to wear his collar unbuttoned and his tie loosened.
